Well its getting closer to the big day...the day that i put in my engine. Im getting all of the stuff in order so that i can have it all on the engine when it goes in the car. Well im having a hard time deciding what clutch to buy. Im planning on turboing it in the near future...wanting to have around 230-250hp(not at first but i want to get there). I need help with this decision. It would be really helpful if you could tell me what kind of clutch you have and how you like it. Oh BTW...i deliver pizzas for extra $ so i drive it alot and id like to keep my daily driveability. Thanks in advance

Go with ACT. I had a Clutch Masters Stage for in my old EG turbo hatch, switch to an ACT Xtreme pressure plate with a hybrid street disc and I've never been happier. I'm definately putting one on my CRX when I drop my b16a in.

ACT

 

Ive seen alot about the ACT but i havent had any experience with one. Where is a good place to find them for cheap...CHEAP is the key word here. LOL. Keep the voting and comments coming you guys

Sean

 

hah i deliver pizzas too, for pizza hut.. good $$. tips are good

 

had better luck outa clutch masters

 

Yea thats where i work too...tips are pretty good over here. Has anyone had any experience with the action clutch...everyone in FI forum thinks that they are the best clutches you can buy. They arent exactly cheap but from what i heard they are the shiznit.

Clutchmasters "STAGE 3" is perfect!

 

Thanks for the votes but some replys would be better at this point. Who has a turbod CRX and what type of slutch do you have? The stock type r clutch wont be able to take too many shifts into boost before it burns up...its setup to hold alot of high end hp not low to mid range boost. And ill be sure to call up Osama and tell him that if he doesnt quit bombig im gonna shove my sive 10 and 1/2 up his ***...WHILE SMOKING A J!!! Thanks

ask rocket. he sells action clutches, and i got a segmented kevlar with stage 1 PP. it grabs good and has really smooth engagement.

 

I think there was a discount on groupbuycenter.com on ACT clutch. Not sure if it's still going on.

 

im on my friends name mine isXEF_8X i got an act 6 puck from my local honda dealer complete kit for 320. i couldnt be happier. ive had one b4 on my zc as well.

 

You can't beat an ACT clutch.....

 

What about a Center Force Dual Friction?

 

act tends to destroy transmitions. on hondas, mitsu, pontiacs, fords, chevys etc. act clutches are primarily designed for race use only... all of them are.

 

Couldnt agree more. And the pedal feel is ****. I like something close to stock. Exedy for sure

 

if you use an act, dont bitch when it chatters like a ***** b/c you have an unsprung hub

 

I'm sure you mean "transmiSSIONs"

BTW, I have used nothing but ACT for my clutches and have had no problems.

 

everyone knows i cant spell for ****.

 

ACT Stage 1. I know a guy running a JDM B18C with a turbo and slicks (runs mid 12's) and his has held up this whole time. Plus Raene LOVES his!

 

We are all using Ottawa clutchs Bully clutch it is feramic and stock pressure plate and stock pedal feel we have a few cars running 546hp and 450hp and 320hp on them and no problems

i'm the one who listed stock type R. sorry it won't fit on your application (we still don't know which motor or tranny) the quality and feel of a stock clutch cannot be met by an aftermarket clutch (in my opinion). i have an exedy clutch, and it chatters. my friend had one, guess what, it chattered too. my vote is that if you can possibly find a stock clutch that will fit, go with that over an aftermarket. another idea is to get a stock pressure plate and an aftermarket clutch disc. hear that works really well.

 

my act never chatters. learn how to ****** drive and none of you will have problems

 

I live in a city and i had a two types of ACT's, one was a 6- puck, chattered alot, made noise while engaging, needs to time to get used to, and grabs hard! Good for track racing. 2nd one, a street, smoother engaging, doesnt chatter, grabs ok, good for daily driving especially for working the delivering pizza's.. there both pretty good...But i'd say go for a street n strip . It has both charateristics

 

You know what...heres a spoon...why dont you eat my ***? If youre taking the time to write "im a retard who cant think of anything better to say except use the search option" then why cant you use that time to write something that will help someone? For those of you who arent dickless wonders...thanks for the replys. So youve had an exedy clutch that chatters? Ive never heard of an exedy clutch chattering. Oh yea im putting in a b18a....dont know why i didnt post that before. Thanks alot guys.
